{bookishness} BBW 2014: Gaiman

“Well-meaning adults can easily destroy a child’s love of reading: stop them reading what they enjoy, or give them worthy-but-dull books that you like, the 21st-century equivalents of Victorian “improving” literature. You’ll wind up with a generation convinced that reading is uncool and worse, unpleasant.” –Neil Gaiman, “Why Our Future Depends on Libraries, Reading and the Imagination.” The Guardian.
